Important Safety Instructions

READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS .
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this product unless they are closely supervised at all times. DANGER -- Risk of accidental drowning: Do not allow children to be in or around a spa unless a responsible adult supervises them. Keep the spa cover on and locked when not in use. See instructions enclosed with your cover for locking procedures. DANGER -- Risk of injury: The suction fittings in this spa are sized to match the specific water flow created by the pump. Should the need arise to replace the suction fittings, or the pump, be sure the flow rates are compatible. Never operate the spa if the suction fitting or filter baskets are broken or missing. Never replace a suction fitting with one that is rated less than the flow rate marked on the original suction fitting.
Read This First!
DANGER -- Risk of electric shock: Install the spa at least 5 feet (1.5 meters) from all metal surfaces. As an alternative, a spa may be installed within 5 feet of metal surfaces if each metal surface is permanently bonded by a minimum #8 AWG solid copper conductor to the outside of the spas control box. WARNING -- To reduce the risk of injury: The spa water should never exceed 104F (40C). Water temperatures between 100F (38C) and 104F (40C) are considered safe for a healthy adult. Lower water temperatures are recommended for young children and when spa use exceeds 10 minutes. High water temperatures have a high potential for causing fetal damage during pregnancy. Women who are pregnant, or who think they are pregnant, should always check with their physician prior to spa usage.
DANGER -- Risk of electric shock: Do not permit any external electrical appliances, such as lights, telephones, radios, televisions, and etc., within five feet (1.5 meters) of the spa. Never attempt to operate any electrical device from inside the spa.
The use of alcohol, drugs or medication before or during spa use may lead to unconsciousness, with the possibility of drowning. Persons suffering from obesity, a medical history of heart disease, low or high blood pressure, circulatory system problems or diabetes should consult a physician before using the spa. Persons using medications should consult a physician before using the spa since some medications may induce drowsiness while others may affect heart rate, blood pressure and circulation.
HYPERTHERMIA DANGER: Prolonged exposure to hot air or water can induce hyperthermia. Hyperthermia occurs when the internal temperature of the body reaches a level 3F to 6F above the normal body temperature of 98.6F (or 2C to 4C above 37C). While hyperthermia has many health benefits, it is important not to allow your bodys core temperature to rise above 103F (39.5C). Symptoms of excessive hyperthermia include dizziness, lethargy, drowsiness and fainting. The effects of excessive hyperthermia may include: 2010 Portable Spa

Most cities and counties require permits for exterior construction and electrical circuits. In addition, some communities have codes requiring residential barriers such as fencing and/or self-closing gates on property to prevent unsupervised access to the property by children. Your dealer can provide information on which permits may be required and how to obtain them prior to the delivery of your spa.
Planning the Best Location

Safety First
Do not place your spa within 10 feet (3 m) of overhead power lines.
Provide a View with Your Spa

Think about the direction you will be facing when sitting in your spa. Do you have a special landscaped area in your yard that you find enjoyable? Perhaps there is an area that catches a soothing breeze during the day or a lovely sunset in the evening.
Consider How You Will Use Your Spa

How you intend to use your spa will help you determine where you should position it. For example, will you use your spa for recreational or therapeutic purposes? If your spa is mainly used for family recreation, be sure to leave plenty of room around it for activity. If you will use it for relaxation and therapy, you will probably want to create a specific mood around it.
Keep Your Spa Clean

In planning your spas location, consider a location where the path to and from the house can be kept clean and free of debris. Prevent dirt and contaminants from being tracked into your spa by placing a foot mat at the spas entrance where the bathers can clean their feet before entering your spa.
Plan for Your Environment

If you live in a region where it snows in the winter or rains frequently, place the spa near a house entry. By doing this, you will have a place to change clothes and not be uncomfortable.
Allow for Service Access

Many people choose to install a decorative structure around their spa. If you are installing your spa with any type of structure on the outside, such as a gazebo, remember to allow access for service. It is always best to design special installations so that the spa can still be moved, or lifted off the ground.
Consider Your Privacy

In a cold-weather climate, bare trees wont provide much privacy. Think of your spas surroundings during all seasons to determine your best privacy options. Consider the view of your neighbors as well when you plan the location of your spa.
Preparing a Good Foundation

Damage caused by inadequate or improper foundation support is not covered by the warranty . It is the responsibility of the spa owner to provide a proper foundation for the spa. We strongly recommended that you have a qualified, licensed contractor prepare the foundation for your spa. Place the spa on a level foundation (preferably a 4 concrete slab). If you are installing the spa indoors, pay close attention to the flooring beneath it. Choose flooring that will not be damaged or stained. If you are installing your spa on an elevated wood deck or other structure, consult a structural engineer or a contractor to ensure the structure will support the weight of 150 pounds per square foot.

120 Volt Electrical Installation

Always follow applicable local, state and federal codes and guidelines. Use only a dedicated electrical line with a 20 amp breaker. Cord-and-plug connections may not use a cord longer than 15 feet (4.6 m) and must be plugged into a dedicated 20 amp GFCI connection (NEC 680.42(A) (2)). Do not use extension cords! Always use a weatherproof-covered receptacle. Receptacle shall be located not less than 5 feet (1.5 m) from and not exceeding 10 feet (3.0 m) from the inside wall of the spa. (NEC 680.43(A)) Do not bury the power cord. If your cord becomes damaged, replace it before next usage. All 120V spas must have a GFCI. This can be either a 20 amp GFCI receptacle or a 20 amp GFCI cord and plug kit as shown (CKIT110 - P/N ELE09700086). Test the GFCI plug prior to first use and periodically when the spa is powered. To test the GFCI plug version, follow these instructions. (Spa should already be plugged in and operational.) 1. Press the TEST button on the GFCI. The GFCI will trip and the spa will stop operating. 2. Press the RESET button on the GFCI. The GFCI will reset and the spa will turn back on. The spa is now safe to use. If the GFCI trips while the spa is in use, press the RESET button. If the GFCI does not reset, unplug the spa and call your local Cal Spas dealer for service. DO NOT USE THE SPA!
240 Volt Electrical Installation

All 240V spas must be permanently connected (hardwired) to the power supply. See the wiring diagram on page 7. These instructions describe the only acceptable electrical wiring procedure . Spas wired in any other way will void your warranty and may result in serious injury . When installed in the United States, the electrical wiring of this spa must meet the requirements of National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-2008 and any applicable local, state, and federal codes. The electrical circuit must be installed by an electrical contractor and approved by a local building or electrical inspector . Failure to comply with state and local codes may result in fire or personal injury and will be the sole responsibility of the spa owner . Use the table on the next page to determine your GFCI and wiring requirements. When NEC requires the use of wires larger than #6 AWG, install a junction box near the spa and use #6 AWG wire between the junction box and the spa. Wire runs over 85 feet must increase wire gauge to the next lower number. For example: A normal 50 amp GFCI with four #8 AWG Copper wires run over 85 feet would require you to go to four #6 AWG copper wires. Read and follow the heater manufacturers safety and installation instructions prior to installation and operation. Incorrect installation may damage the heater and void its warranty.
Testing the GFCI Breaker

Test the GFCI breaker prior to first use and periodically when the spa is powered. To test the GFCI breaker follow these instructions (spa should be operating): 1. Press the TEST button on the GFCI. The GFCI will trip and the spa will shut off. 2. Reset the GFCI breaker by switching the breaker to the full OFF position, wait a moment, then turn the breaker back on. The spa should have power again.
GFCI and Wiring Requirements

The power supplied to the spa must be on a dedicated GFCI protected circuit as required by ANSI/NFPA 70 with no other appliances or lights sharing the power. Use copper wire with THHN insulation. Do not use aluminum wire.

Gas Heater Hook up

Ultimate Fitness Series spa owners may buy and install a separate gas heater and pump for use with their spa. This option may be purchased separately from your local distributor. Spa owners are responsible for ensuring installation of their gas heater conforms to local, state, and federal regulations. The electrical and gas installation must be performed by contractors and approved by a local building / electrical inspector. Failure to do so may void your warranty. All Ultimate Fitness Series spas are plumbed with a gas heater ready union located inside the cabinet at either the front or rear, depending on the model. (See the figures below and at right.) Properly installed, they can be attached to an external gas heater. Customers are responsible for creating openings in the panel to accommodate the lines and wiring. The gas heater should be located not less than 10 feet and no more than 25 feet away from the spa. To connect the plumbing for an external gas heater: 1. Disconnect the ready union. 2. Cut off both sides of the union and discard it. 3. Create two 2 diameter holes through the spa panel. 4. Use two 2 couplings to connect the hoses to 10 - 15 2-3/8 diameter PVC lines. 5. Connect PVC lines to the gas heater.

Filling and Powering Up Your Portable Spa

Never fill your spa with soft water.
Soft water makes it impossible to maintain the proper water chemistry and may cause the water to foam, which will ultimately harm the finish of the spa and void your warranty. 1. Once the spa has been placed on an approved surface and has been correctly wired by a licensed electrician, inspect all plumbing connections in the equipment area of your spa. Ensure that these connections are secure and that they did not loosen during shipment. 2. If equipped, open all gate valves in the equipment area. Before operating the spa, these valves must be in the up or open position. VERY IMPORTANT! Never run the spa with the gate valves closed or without water circulating for long periods of time. Be careful not to over-tighten the plumbing fittings. 3. Remove the cartridge from filter canister. 4. Place a garden hose in the filter canister and fill your spa with regular tap water about six inches from the top. VERY IMPORTANT! Always fill the spa through the filter canister! Failure to do so may cause air to be trapped in the filtration system and prevent the pumps from operating properly. 5. Presoak the filters in spa water. VERY IMPORTANT! You must presoak the filters before inserting them in the filter canister. Dry filters can allow air into the filtration system which can cause pump failure. 6. (For owners of the automatic bromine generator) Make sure the dial on the face of the bromine generator unit is turned to the OFF position. 7. Once the water is at the correct level and air is bled, turn on the power at the GFCI breaker. (Ensure that the 120V spas are connected to the proper electrical outlet.) Note: Depending on the model, when the power is turned on to the spa, the controls will perform a diagnostic check for approximately five minutes. When the diagnostic is complete, the spa will automatically operate at filter speed and continue heating until the spa water temperature reaches the default temperature of 100F. 8. If no water is flowing when the pump is running, there could be an air pocket at the suction side of the pump. Shut off power to the spa and loosen the pump union on the suction side of the pump to bleed the air. When air is bled, turn power back on. 9. Install the pre-soaked filters into the filter canister. The spa is now ready for use.

Priming the Pump

New spa owners often have difficulty the first time they start their spa and the pump fails to prime. This can be frustrating, but these simple instructions can help you. Sometimes air can become trapped in the pump while filling the spa. You will know this has happened when after you have filled and started the spa, the pump does not seem to function. You will hear the pump operating, but no water will be moving. There are two methods of priming the pump. The first method will remove small air bubbles trapped in the pump . 1. Turn the spa on and wait for PR (Priming Mode) to appear on the topside display. 2. Press the JETS1 button to turn on the pump and let it run for 10 seconds. The pump should be running in low speed. 3. Press the JETS1 buttons again and let the pump run in high speed for 10 seconds. 4. Press the JETS1 button again to turn off the pump. The pump should be left in the off position for 10 to 15 seconds. 5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 until water is flowing through all the jets and all air is removed from the plumbing. The second method will remove a large air lock within the pump . 1. Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the front panel from the spa and locate the pump. 2. While the spa is operating, turn the bleeder valve counter clockwise with a small pair of pliers or a flat head screwdriver until the air has been released from the pump. 3. If this is unsuccessful, loosen the white union nut on side of the pump with channel locks. When air is bled out, tighten the nut and set the pump on high speed.
The pump will not work properly while air is trapped in it. Continuing to operate the pump in this way will cause damage. Whenever you fill your spa, fill it through the filter canister and make sure all jets are open. Note: If you press the Temp button any time during Priming Mode, it will exit that mode and begin Standard Mode.

The FILTER 1 indicator icon will light when filter 1 is running. The second filter cycle is automatically activated at 8:00 PM and operates the pump until 10:00 PM. The FILTER 2 indicator icon will light when filter 2 is running.
Ozone
This is an optional feature. On most systems, the ozone generator (if installed) runs during filter cycles (except when pump 1 is operating at high speed on a non-circ ulating system) and during clean-up cycles. On some systems, the ozone generator operates whenever the pump runs. If your system is configured with the optional ozone disable feature, the ozone generator will turn off for one hour any time a function button (JETS 1, JETS 2, OPTION etc.) is pressed.
The pump and the ozone generator will run during filtration. At the start of each filter cycle, the blower will run on highest speed for 30 seconds to clean out the air channels. The lowest speed of pump 2 and pump 3 will run for five minutes. In the event of power loss or shut down, the time of day will need to be reset for filter cycles to run according to your desired programming.
Freeze Protection
If the temperature sensors detect a drop to 44F within the heater, the pump automatically activates to provide freeze protection. The equipment stays on until four minutes after the sensors detect that the spa temperature has risen to 45F or higher. In colder climates, an optional additional freeze sensor may be added to protect against freeze conditions that may not be sensed by the standard sensors. Auxiliary freeze sensor protection acts similarly except with the temperature thresholds determined by the switch and without a four-minute delay in turnoff.
Clean up Cycle
When the pump or blower is turned on by a button press, a clean-up cycle begins 30 minutes after the pump or blower is turned off or times out. The pump and the ozone generator will run for one hour.

Electrical Power Efficiency

Your new spa comes equipped with an electric heater. Following the directions listed below will ensure the most efficient operation: NOTE: This method is only for spa usage under two hours a week. Keep the spas operating temperature 5F below the desired usage temperature when not in use. One or two hours before use, set the temperature to the desired temperature. If the spa usage exceeds two hours a week, the set temperature should remain at the desired usage temperature. The air venturis should be used sparingly. When open, water temperature drops quite rapidly and can also dissipate chemicals.
Allowing the water temperature to lower more than 10F below the desired usage temperature and reheating it prior to usage will cause the heater to operate longer than it normally would maintaining the desired temperature. Doing this will increase your operating cost and makes your heater work more than necessary.

Jets
Almost all of the jets in your spa are adjustable. Rotating the face of an adjustable jet to the left (counter-clockwise) will decrease the amount of water flow through the jet. Rotating the face of an adjustable jet to the right (clockwise) will increase the amount of water flow through the jet. (See example shown below.) Neck jets adjust in the opposite directions (counterclockwise to increase, clockwise to decrease).
Diverter Knobs
Diverter knobs are 1 and 2 knobs located around the top of your spa. They allow you to divert water through jets from one side of the spa to the other, or in most cases from floor jets to wall jets. This is accomplished by rotating the diverter knob to the left (counterclockwise), decreasing the amount of water flow through a section of jets. To increase the amount of water flow through the other section of jets, rotate the handle to the right (clockwise).
Waterfalls
Some spa series include optional waterfalls. When the booster pump is on, turn the knob near the waterfall, or rotate the dial on top of the waterfall. Water will immediately start flowing through it.
Air Venturis
Air venturis are the 1 knobs located around the top of your spa. Each one will let you add a mixture of air with the jet pressure. This is accomplished by rotating the air venturi knob to the left (counterclockwise) to increase the amount of airflow through the jets. To decrease the amount of airflow through the jets, rotate the handle to the right (clockwise).

This section is intended for new spa owners with no experience with water chemistry. Everyones experience with maintaining water quality is different, but there are some general concepts you need to know. Water maintenance is not difficult, although it requires regular attention. The most important thing to understand about taking care of your spa water is that preventive action is much easier than correcting water quality issues.

Testing and Adjusting Spa Water

You have two types of testing methods to choose from: The reagent test kit is a method which provides a high level of accuracy. It is available in either liquid or tablet form. Test strips are a convenient testing method commonly used by spa owners.
Balancing the Total Alkalinity

Total alkalinity (TA) is the measure of the total levels of carbonates, bicarbonates, hydroxides, and other alkaline substances in the water. TA can be considered a pH buffer. It is the measure of the ability of the water to resist changes in pH level. The recommended total alkalinity is 80 - 120 ppm . If the TA is too low, the pH level will fluctuate widely from high to low. Low TA can be corrected by adding Cal Spas pH-Alkalinity Up. If the TA is too high, the pH level will tend to be too high and may be difficult to bring down. High TA can be corrected by adding Cal Spas pH-Alkalinity Down. When the TA is balanced, it normally remains stable, although adding water with high or low alkalinity will raise or lower the TA level.
Balancing the Calcium Hardness

Calcium hardness (CH) is a measure of the total amount of dissolved calcium in the water. Calcium helps control the corrosive nature of the spas water and is why soft water is not recommended. The low calcium content of soft water is very corrosive to the equipment and can cause staining of the spa shell. The recommended calcium hardness is 150 - 200 ppm . If the CH is too low, add Cal Spas Liquid Hardness Increaser. If the CH is too high, dilute the spa water with soft water or, if this is not available, add Cal Spas Stain and Scale Defense. When the CH is balanced, it normally remains stable, although adding soft water or very hard water will raise or lower the CH level.
Balancing the pH
The pH level is the measure of the balance between acidity and alkalinity. If the pH is too low, it can cause corrosion of metal fixtures and the heating element. Low pH can be corrected by adding pH-Alkalinity Up.
Too alkaline, causes scaling
8.2 8.0 7.8 7.6

Need to lower the pH level
Ideal balance
7.4 7.2 7.0 6.8 6.6

Clear Water Plan
Sanitation
After you fill your spa, you need to decide which chemical sanitizer you wish to use. Consult your Cal Spas dealer for the right decision with regards to your lifestyle and spa usage. We recommend either bromine or chlorine as your sanitizer. Both work well when maintained regularly. DO NOT use trichlor . Trichlor is very acidic and the hot temperature of the spa causes it to dissolve too quickly . It will cause damage to your spa and will void your warranty . Sanitizers kill bacteria and other organic waste by breaking them down to non-harmful levels and are filtered out. Make sure you follow all instructions and use only Cal Spas brand chemicals. Whichever plan you decide on, follow it completely and dont take shortcuts. It will provide you with clean, safe, clear spa water with a minimum of effort. Spa owners with the Cal Zone Quest ozonator or the Cal Clarity bromine generator still need to use a chemical sanitizer. See page 31 for instructions on usage.
Using Chlorine as a Sanitizer

If you choose to use chlorine as a sanitizer, only use granulated chlorine, not liquid chlorine. We recommend you use only Cal Spas Chlorinating Granules. Once a week, check the chlorine level using either a test strip or a reagent kit. See the table on the following page for the ideal range. Add one or two tablespoons of Cal Spas Chlorinating Granules to the spa water weekly. Note that chlorine dissipation rate will be faster at higher water temperatures and slower at lower temperatures. When you add chlorine, open all of the jets and run the spa at high speed with the cover open for at least 30 minutes. Follow the maintenance schedule on page page 30.
Using Bromine as a Sanitizer

Bromine is a very effective sanitizer that produces low chemical odors. Unlike chlorine, it can break down bacteria and other impurities to a safe level with a low burn-out rate. Bromine is available in both granulated and tablet form. Use granulated bromine to establish your bromine base. Use tablets to maintain it. The filter cartridge provided with your spa has an internal chamber for bromine tablets. Do not use a floater. When you begin with fresh water, add 2 ounces of Cal Spas Go Brom. Open all of the jets and run the spa at high speed. This is your base bromine level as the tablets will take a while to dissolve. Add two ounces of Oxidizer Shock. Open all of the jets and run on high speed with the cover half open for at least 30 minutes. Place three or four bromine tablets in the chamber inside the filter cartridge as shown in the figure at right. Follow the maintenance schedule on page page 30.

Note: The Cal Clarity bromine generator requires different water chemistry tests. See page 31 for instructions on its use.
Shocking the Water

In addition to using a chemical sanitizer, you will periodically need to shock the water. Shocking the water helps remove burned-out chemicals, bacteria, and other organic material from your spas water and improves your sanitizers effectiveness. Do not use chlorinating shock, which will damage your spas jets and pump seals. The only shock you should use is Cal Spas Oxidizer Shock. It is an easy way to maintain either chlorine or bromine chemical plans. For best results use the directions below. Add one ounce of Cal Spas Oxidizer Shock: Once a week After heavy bather loads If water has a strong odor
Spa must be running with all of the jets on high for 30 minutes with the cover open. If necessary, repeat oxidizer shock in 30 minute intervals.
Chemical Safety
Read and follow all printed instructions listed on bottles and packages . Failure to follow chemical directions may result in serious injury, sickness, or even death . Do not exceed chemical dosages as recommended in the Clear Water Plan or on chemical bottles and packages. Never change chemical brands or types without completely draining, flushing and thoroughly cleaning the spa and cover first. Never mix chemicals together. Do not allow chemicals to come in contact with skin, eyes or clothing. Remove and wash clothing that may have been exposed to chemical contact prior to wearing them again. Inhaling or ingesting chemicals will cause serious injury, sickness, or even death. Chemicals must be stored completely out of the reach of children in an area that is well vented, cool, and dry. Failure to provide a proper area for chemical storage may result in serious injury, sickness, fire explosion and even death. Do not store your chemicals inside the equipment area of your spa.

About the Pure XL Water Sanitizer

The Pure XL water sanitizer is an optional water purification system installed at the factory. It works 24 hours a day with the continuous filtration pump during normal operation of the spa. It eradicates germs in the water that are resistant to chlorine-based chemicals using high intensity UV light. There are no settings to adjust and is virtually maintenance-free. Once a year the UV light needs to be replaced and the quartz sleeve needs to be cleaned. This is not a user-serviceable item and maintenance must be performed by a spa technician . Have your service technician consult the manufacturers instruction and service manual . (UV water purifier system is manufactured by Aqua Ultraviolet.)
Filter Cleaning
The filter is the part of your spa that removes the debris from the water and needs to be cleaned on a regular basis to maximize your spas filtering performance and heating efficiency. In addition to spraying off the filter weekly to remove surface debris, your filter should be deep cleaned periodically to dissolve scale and particles that get lodged deep within the filter fibers and impede the filtration process. Even if the filter looks clean, scale and particles can clog the fibers and prevent water from flowing through the filter resulting in the most common spa problemno heat, caused by a dirty filter. We recommend you clean your filter once a month and replace it once a year or as necessary. 1. Remove the filter by turning it counterclockwise, unscrewing the bottom threads, then pulling it up and out. 2. Place the dirty filter into a bucket of water deep enough to cover the filter. Add 8 oz of Cal Spas Liquid Filter Cleaner to the bucket of water. Note: It is a good idea to keep a spare filter to use in the spa while the dirty filter is being deep cleaned. This way, you can rotate the filters and both will last longer. 3. Twist off the tablet tube and set it aside. 4. Soak the filter for a minimum of 24 hours. 5. Spray the filter with a water hose. Spray each pleat carefully. 6. Put fresh bromine in the tablet tube (if you use it as a sanitizer) and twist it back on top of the filter. 7. Reinstall the filter. Do not overtighten.

Clear Water Plan
Bather Load
Bather Load is the term used to describe the number of people using a spa, combined with the length of usage, and the frequency of usage. All these factors have a great effect on the spa water. The higher the bather load, the more chemicals need to be added and a longer filtration time will be needed. All versions of the Cal Spas Clear Water Plan are designed for spas with average bather load (3 to 4 people, 15 minutes of usage, three times a week at 100 degrees) If your bather load exceeds these guidelines, and you experience water quality problems, increase the amount of filtration first, (go to the next higher filtration number) then if water quality is still not adequate, consult the advice of your Cal Spas dealer for additional chemical or system recommendations. Be sure to give them your bather load information.

Cal Zone Quest Ozonator Clear Water Plan

The Cal Zone ozone generator releases ozone into the spa water. You will still need to test for chlorine and occasionally replenish it to return the chlorine level to the baseline. This plan and its chemical dosages are intended for spas equipped with the optional Cal Zone Quest 1000 / 2000 Ozonator or Del Zone Eclipse Ozonator. The chemical references are designed for Cal Spas chemicals only.
Start Up
1. Follow the spa start up procedures for chlorine Clear Water Plan. 2. Set the spas filtration time for F-4. This activates the ozonator and produces the ozone gas. Note: Filtration time may need to be increased with heavy bather load.
Day One (Monday)

1. Test spa water using chlorine test strips. (You will need to use a small amount of chlorine as a supplemental sanitizer) 2. Based on the test strip readings: Adjust total alkalinity (acceptable range of 80-120 ppm). Adjust the pH if needed (range is between 7.2 to 7.8). Add 1 tablespoon of chlorine granules. The recommended level of Chlorine is 1-3 ppm.
3. Add 2 oz of Stain and Scale Defense. 4. Remove dirty filter from the spa and rinse off. 5. Place your extra clean filter cartridge back into the spa. 6. Vacuum debris from the bottom of your spa with the spa vacuum.
Day Two (Friday)

1. Test spa water using chlorine test strips. 2. Based on the test strip reading: Adjust total alkalinity, then the pH if needed. Add 1 tablespoon of chlorine granules (if needed).
3. Add 2 oz of Cal Spas Oxidizer Shock to spa. Run spa for 15 minutes with cover off. 4. Replace cover.
Cal Clarity Bromine Generator

The Cal Clarity bromine generator automatically generates and releases free bromine into the spa water. You will still need to test for bromide and occasionally replenish it to return the bromine level to the baseline.

Clear Water Plan
Start Up
1. Clean surface of spa with Cal Spas Multi-Purpose Cleaner. 2. Apply a protective coat of Cal Spas Fast Sheen to the acrylic surface. 3. Fill spa to proper water level with normal tap water. Do not use soft water. 4. Use a test strip and balance the spa water: Adjust total alkalinity (acceptable range is 80 to 120 ppm), Adjust pH if necessary (between 7.2 to 7.8).
15. This will initiate the build up of a bromine bank. 16. Set the filtration cycle to continuous (F-C) for the first 24 hours. 17. Put the cover on and allow the spa to heat to desired temperature.
Adjusting The Proper Bromine Levels

1. After start up, decrease the filtration cycle to F-4 and monitor the bromine level until it is within the recommended range. 2. Use bromine test strips to achieve a 3-5 ppm recommended level. Note: It can take several days for the bromine level to stabilize because the fill water that was used sometimes contains contaminants that need to be neutralized, thereby using up the initial bromine that is generated. 3. Once the desired level has been achieved, turn the dial down until a maintenance setting is achieved. The common maintenance setting for an average bather load is 4. When changing the setting, use bromine test strips to determine when you have reached the level you want.
5. Pour in 16 oz. of Cal Spas Metal Protector in the center of spa. 6. Test for TDS (total dissolved solids). 7. The ideal range is 50 to 300 ppm. TDS must be less than 500 ppm to start with.
Test for phosphates. Phosphate level should be below 200 ppb. Remove phosphates if necessary.
8. Determine the gallon capacity of the spa. Be accurate, because this determines the amount of TRU BLU that will be added. Consult the Cal Spas Pre-delivery Guide for spa gallons. 9. Power up the spa and make sure all the spas pumps are set to high speed. Turn the dial on the face of the Cal Clarity Bromine Generator to OFF. 10. Sprinkle evenly over the surface of the spa one 2lb bottle of TRU BLU sodium bromide per 100 US gallons (370 liters) of water. Do not add too much! Note: Each bottle of TRU BLU will raise TDS / conductivity amount approximately 500 ppm. 11. Allow spa to run for 15 minutes so the TRU BLU can dissolve completely before proceeding to the next step. 12. Use sodium bromide test strips (not bromine) and adjust sodium bromide level to 7.4 to 8.2 (equates to 1700 to 2500 ppm TDS level). 13. Add 2 oz of Cal Spas Oxidizer Shock to help burn out impurities in fill water. 14. Turn the dial on the bromine generator clockwise until the LED display reads 10.
Once a Week
1. Test spa water with bromine test strip. 2. Based on test strip readings: Adjust alkalinity if necessary. Adjust pH if necessary. Increase / decrease bromine production with dial if required.
3. Remove dirty filter from the spa and rinse off. 4. Place your clean, extra filter cartridge back into the spa. 5. Add 2 oz of Cal Spas Oxidizer Shock to spa. Run spa for 15 minutes 6. Vacuum debris from the bottom of your spa with the Spa Vacuum. 7. Replace cover.

Removing and Reseating the Pillows
You can remove the pillows for cleaning and maintenance quickly and easily. This method works for all types of pillows. Grab the lower edge of the pillow with both hands firmly and pull up. As you do this, the pillow inserts will pop out of the holes.
Reseat the pillows by aligning the pillow inserts with the holes and striking the pillow hard enough to insert the pegs back into the holes.
Spa Cover
Important! Keep the spa covered when not in use! Covered spas will use less electricity in maintaining your set temperature. Covering your spa will protect your spas finish from the suns ultraviolet rays. You are required to keep the spa covered to maintain warranty coverage. Covering your spa helps prevent children from drowning in the spa. See the manual enclosed with your cover for instructions on mounting the locks and how to lock and unlock the cover. In addition, while the spa cover is rigid, it is not designed to support any weight. Therefore, as a safety precaution and to preserve the life of your cover, you must not sit, stand, or lie on it, nor should you place objects of any kind on top of it.

Draining Your Portable Spa

Your spa should be drained every four to six months, and refilled with fresh tap water. The following is the recommended method for draining your spa. 1. Turn off the power at the breaker. 2. Remove all filters. If your drain valve is mounted on the side of the spa cabinet as shown at right, proceed to step 5. If your drain valve is located inside the spa cabinet: 3. Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the screws to the access panel and open it. 4. Locate hose ending with the 3/4 inch hose-bib fixture.
5. Hook up the female end of a garden hose to the drain fitting. 6. Place the other end of the garden hose where you would like the water to drain to. 7. Twist the hose-bib fixture counterclockwise and pull to open the drain. 8. Let spa drain completely, then remove garden hose. 9. Twist the hose-bib fixture clockwise to close it.
Cleaning and Replacing the Filter

Filtration is one of the most important steps you can take to ensure clean, clear water. It is far less expensive to fix water clarity problems by filtering your spa than by using excessive amounts of chemicals, excessive filtration times, or by water replacement. See the section Clear Water Plan for more information on cleaning your filter.

Winterizing (Cold Climate Draining)

In many areas of the country, the temperature drops below 32F (0C). We recommend that you always have your spa full of water and running at normal spa temperatures (80F to 100F, 26.7C to 37.8C). This will help reduce the risk of freezing in your spa and your spas equipment. Warning: If you find the need to drain your spa, please be aware of the potential of freezing in your spas equipment and plumbing . Even if the directions below are followed perfectly, there is no guarantee that your spa will not suffer freeze damage . Freeze damage is not covered by your warranty . 1. Open all filter covers. 2. Remove the filter baskets and filters. 3. Drain your spa completely as described in the instructions above. 4. Vacuum water from the spas main drain fitting with a wet/dry vacuum. 5. Remove drain plugs from the front of the pumps. 6. Disconnect the unions from both sides of the pump. 7. Blow any remaining water out of the jets and equipment area with the wet/dry vacuum.
8. Cover your spa with a good spa cover and an all-weather tarp to ensure that neither rain nor snow enters the spa. NOTE: All manifolds are plumbed in series directly to the main drain (see example at right), making it easier to remove water and reducing the possibility of freeze damage.
Continuous water flow and drainage
Vacation Care
You can leave your spa unattended for up to two weeks if you follow these instructions. ALWAYS lock your cover using the cover locks if you plan to be away from home and the spa is filled with water. 1. Set the spa to Sleep Mode. (See instructions on page 12 or page 14 for changing modes.) 2. Following the water quality instructions starting on page 24, adjust the pH. 3. Shock the water (add either chlorine or bromine sanitizer). 4. When you return, check and adjust the pH and shock the water. If you will not be using your spa for longer than 14 days and a spa maintenance service is not available, we strongly recommend you drain or winterize your spa.

Cleaning Your Spa

Spa Cover and Pillows
Due to the constant punishment your spa cover and pillows receive, you should protect them by applying Cal Spas Vinyl and Leather Cleaner as part of your monthly maintenance plan. It is specifically designed to protect spa covers and pillows from chemical and ultraviolet light damage. It accomplishes this without leaving an oily residue behind that is normally associated with common automotive vinyl protectants. Warning: Do not use automotive vinyl protectants on spa covers or pillows. These products are generally oil-based and will cause severe water clarity issues that are difficult to correct.
Spa Shell
Each time you drain your spa, before you refill it you should clean your spa shell with our Cal Spas All-Purpose Cleaner and apply a protective coat of Cal Spas Fast Sheen. Cal Spas All-Purpose Cleaner is a low detergent, non-abrasive cleaner specifically formulated to clean the spa without damaging its acrylic finish. Cal Spas Fast Sheen is a non-oil based wax that is specifically formulated to protect the spas finish from the chemicals and minerals associated with normal spa use. 1. Spray Cal Spas Multi-Purpose Cleaner directly to the spas finish. 2. Wipe clean with a soft cloth. 3. Repeat on heavily calcified areas. 4. Wipe spa thoroughly with a wet sponge, rinsing often in a bucket of clean water. 5. Allow the spa to dry completely. 6. Apply a coat of Cal Spas Fast Sheen to the spas entire finish with a soft cloth or sponge. 7. Allow Fast Sheen to dry until white and powdery. 8. Buff clean with a soft cloth, rotating frequently. IMPORTANT: Do not use any of these products on spas full of water. Only apply to clean, cool, dry surfaces. Incorrect product usage may cause water clarity issues.

Keeping Fit with your Spa

IMPORTANT: Always consult your physician before starting any exercise activity or program. The Ultimate Fitness series spas feature rubber exercise bands. When stretched, these bands create a high tension condition. Improper use or failure to connect the exercise bands properly may cause injury. Always inspect all of the exercise equipment prior to beginning any exercise. Do not use any damaged equipment The fitness equipment consists of: two rowing arm bars, two 62 exercise bands, two 32 exercise bands, two 27 exercise bands, two hand grips, two ankle bands, two hand loops, and an exercise belt. This equipment attaches to the exercise anchors located on the spa walls.

Warranty Performance In the event of a malfunction or defect covered under the terms of this warranty, the factory authorized selling dealer is responsible for performing all necessary repairs. To obtain service, contact the selling dealer.

In the event of any warranty replacement, all labor costs (not limited to removal, replacement, and installation) and shipping costs are the responsibility of the spa owner. There will be no charge for parts on a covered item. However, the LMS Service Agent may assess a reasonable travel or mileage charge per service call, which may include diagnostic time. If LMS determines that repair of a covered item is not feasible, LMS reserves the right to replace the defective merchandise with merchandise equivalent or equal in value to the original merchandise.

Proration of Warranty Units determined by the Company to be non-repairable will be replaced on a prorated basis with the same or a comparable unit. The user will be charged one percent of the current retail cost for each full month of ownership from the date of purchase through the date failure is determined to be non-repairable. This charge will be waived during the first twelve months of ownership. Warranty Limitations and Exclusions This warranty is void if the spa has been subject to negligence, alteration, misuse, abuse, repairs by nonLMS authorized personnel, incorrect electrical installation, installation by unqualified personnel, installation without a permit if required by local codes, installation of any component other than by the manufacturer, acts of God (including, but not limited to, acts of nature and surrounding environments), and any other cases beyond the control of LMS.
